I started with a cheap Fujifilm FinePix that I used all through college and after when I "discovered" my photography eye. A few raindrops ruined it in NOLA. Now I use a water/shock proof Olympus Stylus 770. It does not have the clarity or creative control my old camera, but still work for me.

Are you referring to Consumer or Professional Level?
We use the Canon EOS 5D.
With Canon's 70-200 F2.8 FL lens.
And a Hasselblad with the 32MP data back.
With almost all of the Hasselblad lenses.
We are a Graphics reproduction studio.
So ours may be excessive for most people.

The flip camera or the Kodac zi8 are just so easy to use and making videos for the net is so easy and whats more if they get stolen or break are cheap enough to replace.

I use Nikon D60 with 700mm lens.

Canon Powershot A480.
My main camera is a Canon digital SLR, but also many other cameras and reading about all types of photography.

I am using Rebel 300D Canon DSLR origonal entry level, with a 70-200mm IS f/2.8L USM. The goal is worth 4 times as CAMRA these days, but it still does a good job. Going on 2 years with the CAMRA and have not had a problem, good.

I am using a Nikon D90 with a 50mm f1.8 and 80-200mm too. They cover almost every range so I'm pretty proud of these lens. I'm planning to upgrade my 50 f1.8 to f1.4 and maybe use a 35mm lens for close up

Well, since then I replaced that Olympus (apparently not drunk proof) with a waterproof FinePix Z33WP, which takes excellent pictures for a point-and-shoot. Late last year, I invested in a Nikon D3000, my first DSLR. I also use my Motorola Droid, which has an impressive 5MP camera.

For digital I am using Panasonic LX3 with additional lenses of Wide, Tele and Fish Eye. For Lomography I have a Diana F+ which uses 120mm film.

Panasonic Lumix TZ7. 10MP, 12x optical zoom, 25 mm wide angle lens, 720p video, 3 "display and optical image stabilization crowned with a 32GB SDHC card. I just want to express a second battery, I can not find them anywhere, and it appeared that take as € 55.

I have Kodak C743 camera. And I have been using this one last two years but Its having a really awesome camera quality. I just bought for my family photo.And I am very satisfied with that camera result.

I use a Canon Powershot SD 850 for my point and shoot. When I want to take more professional looking photos I borrow my brothers SLR - it's a Canon EOS with a Tamron lens. It takes some gorgeous shots and makes me look like I know what i'm doing.

I have been using a Sony HX5 and have been really happy with it (i am an amateur). But now I am thinking of upgrading to an entry level SLR camera. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best entry level SLRs. I say entry level since I am an amateur and also dont want something too expensive.
